I think they've got a very good shot to beat Baltimore this week. And I think there's also a very good chance that the next result (in San Diego) would be the worst playoff loss of the Belichick Era. Have fun at the game

A 10-6 team that played inconsistent football all season long lost it's #1 offensive target. Pointing that out, and downgrading that team's playoff prospects as a result, is hardly "bashing".

I was going to rip you for semantics, but then I thought about it... the WORST lost of the BB era would be an 11 point loss wouldn't it? (previous is 10 points to Denver, then 4 to Indy and 3 to Giants).

I'm sure he was implying more of a blowout, but technically they don't have to lose that badly for him to be right.

Can someone please help me out? I haven't watched enough Chargers to understand why (aside from their winning streak) they get so much hype. Yes, they've got Phil and Antonio, and Jackson seems to have had a career (changing?) year, and they've got Sproles and Tomlinson. How are they on the lines? Is their defense any better than it was in previous years?

I think it's due more to the fact that the Chargers are peaking at the perfect time and have a ton of momentum going into the playoffs. People are also surprised that Rivers looks like he's joining the ranks of the elite QBs--it still remains to be seen whether he can get it done in the playoffs.
